How to get there?

img: Sign indicating to travellers that they have arrived in Elche The City of Elche is in a truly privileged location. 20 kilometres from Alicante and 50 kilometres from Murcia, it is in a strategic position forming, together with other nearby towns, the southern axis of the Mediterranean Arc, a district that boasts great dynamism in both demographic and economic terms.

Elche is in an area with good land, sea and air communications. El Altet International Airport is located within its boundaries and it is also close to the provincial capital’s sea port. Road communications are also good, linking it to the Mediterranean toll motorways and the motorway to Madrid, while the rail links will soon include a station for the AVE high speed train.
